Summary
USA Today best-selling book!
Mike Majlak was a 17-year-old from a loving middle-class family in Milford, Connecticut, when he got caught up in the opioid epidemic that swept the nation. For close to a decade thereafter, his life was a wasteland of darkness and despair. While his peers were graduating from college, buying homes, getting married, having kids, and leading normal lives, Mike was snorting Oxycontin, climbing out of cars at gunpoint, and burying his childhood friends.
Unable to escape the noose of addiction, he eventually lost the trust and support of everyone who had ever loved him. Alone, with nothing but drugs to keep him company, darkness closed in, and the light inside him - the last flicker of hope - began to dim. His dreams, potential, and future were all being devoured by a relentless addiction too powerful to fight.
Despair filled him as he realized he wasn't going to survive. Somehow, he did. He not only survived, he thrived. Now, he's a social media personality with millions of followers and an entrepreneur, marketer, podcaster, YouTuber, and author who hopes to use his voice to shine a light for those whose own lights have grown dim. This is his story.

First Audiobook
As my first Audiobook I don’t really know where a review stands but personally as a drug user myself I feel this book was very powerful pretty slow at times but overall a great look at a celebrity’s story and as a celebrity I feel Mike is using his social power to try and change others now and this book was a great starting point for that .

incredible
incredible and inspiring story of someone who I thought got everything handed to him on a plate. I was skeptical to listen, but after countless recommendations I went in on it and I'm glad I did.
